ELECTRIC FIRE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Allg'. 17, 192.0.V

Application filed December 30, 1919. Serial No. 348,368.

invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electric Fires, of which the following is a specification, such as will en-` able others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make use of the same.

This invention relates to electric fires of that kind in which one or more electric lamps is or are arranged inside a guard or equivalent, the front and top of which isr covered with imitation lfuel, and inside which rotatable devices are turned by heat from the lamp or lamps and produce a''lickering effect.

In accordance with the present invention the fans are mounted on the top of the guard whichis movable and are lifted with it when it is raised so that easy access may be had to the lamps and fans.

The movable top may, as has been heretofore proposed, be hinged to the body portion of the guard or it may be ca able of being raised or lifted upward away rom the body portion. The necessity of removing the` imitation fuel, lifting yout the guard, etc., when'accesssis desired to the lamps and fans. is thus obviated. n

The invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawings in which Flgure 1 shows an ordinary 'fireplace a in front elevation.

Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view about the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 shows the guard and some of the fuel removed. i

Fig. 4 shows amodication.

Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the guard b is simply placed within the fireplace and over the lamps e` and is covered on the front and top with either or both fixed and loose fuel d. The top f of the guard is hinged to the bottom portion and has on its undertop in such a manner that, as is clearly shown in Fig. 3 the top can be raised and the lamps and fans easlly handled.

In Fig.' 4 the guard L is provided with a side two fans e supported by bars g and the top i which is entirely removable and is furnished with feet loops 7c in the guard.

What we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is In an electric `imitation fire, a basket to contain electric lamps, a. movable top for the basket, imitation fuel on said top, and fans arranged under the toptand connected thereto for rotation, said 4fans being carried wholly by and removable with said top.

In testimony whereof we have affixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
